Thanks for the pictures!

What a gem! I really like that green. It looks as if it just came from the factory yesterday. Wonderfully restored.

That's a beeyoot!

...wondering about the one clip, first to the right of center, bottom of the snare, second pic, funny angle...?

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone.

DownTownFarmer, that is just an odd angle with some of the brass showing through.

Mark,

Gorgeous drum! From your previous posts, we know you have an affinity for these green pearls. You've posted shots of "Sea Green" pearl and "Emerald" pearl. Question: Did Ludwig and Leedy simply give different names to the same pearl, or were these two different, distinct green pearls? Just curious.

Thanks, Mike! Well, Slingerland called their version "Sea Green Pearl" and it's quite different from Leedy's "Green Pearl" and Ludwig & Ludwig's "Emerald Green Pearl", which is really more of a lime or even jade green. Slingerland's finish was lighter with some "silvery" colors showing through. WFL and Gretsch also had their versions of green pearl. There are probably some variations in color even between Ludwig & Ludwig and Leedy, both of which were owned by Conn.
